LvL D 0,1'4' , SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1810. SUN ORVIC : E . , , ,TWO O'CLOCK. We haire just received the following Bulletin from Windsor : " Her ROYAL HIGHNESS has had a restless night, and continues much the smiersyesterday." • .NYE, the Admiralty Messenger, arrived yesterday in town with - Dispatches from Mr. MACKENZIE at Morlaix. By these wo understand, that very lit►le hope is entertained ot. the Negotiation being brought to a Auccrs,tui conclusion. Thee French, it seems, have uniformly risen in their demands, ' in pro Portion as we have conceded, and for the sake of humanity, it is. supposed that we have eyed made very considerable concessions. But the monster who tules. the whole,Continent with a rod of iron, possesses no feeling; of never imbibed the -milk of human kindness, but; like the Deiol from whom he sprang, his great delight consivs in "tit-eking whom he may devour.". Tile state of the case is ,this—We have at this Moment lull 59,000 Frenchmen, prisoner's of war, in England. In prance there-are about 12,0u0 two-thirds of whom are not. i,risoners Of War, but were detained in violation of every principle of justice, and the acknowledged law of nations. Many of thee, we might say Most of them, are women and children. Even these, hoWever, we: understood, our Government was willing to ad=" mit to an exchange as prisoners of war. This being eoncethd, the French proposed that the whole of their 50,000 prisoners - 311°111d be sent over en masse, for the 12,000 English, part of them not prisoners of war, bnt deienus, and that afterwards the French would release the Spaniards now in France. It is impossible that so monstrous a proposal can for a moment be listened to in this country. There 13.ppe.-.rs to us to be one simple, fair and honourable way to etre& an exchange, and thus relieve a great *portion of saering humanity ; man man, and rank for rank, including, the prisoners of all the povt.ers .on both sides ; this, we be -4 eve, has b...en proposed on our part, and we believe, alto, that after. such an exchange, there would remain a very small balance on either sclle unexchanged ; but what cares the despot for the feelings or the sufferings of 50,000 of 'his country, --men ?= - fie must correct ourselves, they are French-- men—he is not a Frenchman, but a vile. Corsican. We rather susped that he has no wish for an ex change on any terms. He may think it inconve nient to let 50,000 Frenchmen (so many of whom 'have cause to detest him, particularly those of Mo- BEAU'S army whom he sent to be sacrificed at Si. .Domingo), to be'thrown into France after so long a 'residence in the , land of freedom. For though.shut up in prisons, they pre perfeEtly acquainted with all that is going on in public. , The Ne wspapers and the periodical publications are as open to them a.to others, and from a long residence, they must have imbibed those feelings which are dreadful to,the imagination of BUONAPARTE. ' These 50,000 Frenchmen will, we trust, be made sensible, should the Negotiation he at an end, to whom they are indebted for the prolongation of their confinement. All their misery may be attributed to one inhuman wretch, who, we firmly believe, of all mankind, Christian, Jew, or Turk, is the only one who would not, v.;ith eagerness, have embraced the fair and honourable terms proposed to him by the . British Government. Last night Paris and Dutch Papers arrive.% the for mer to the Bth and the latter to the It th inst. The most important article of intellligence they bringis, ',an account of a descent upon Sicily, by a part of MURAT'S army. The account given in the Moniteur, • of - this brilliant achievement, though written with :studied ambiguity, is yet sufficiently clear to con vince us that MURAT lost the., greater part of the forces with which the attempt was made: The ac count begins with stating, that the bold reconnoitring lately executed , to the suburbs of Messina, by a de - • tachment.of the Guards, had proved the possibility. of landing in Sicily %kith a fair wind. It is stated, *that the wind hating proved fair on the 17th Sep tember, MURAT ordered l,is troops to embark, and .11 the night a conbiderable portion of them -sue= ceeded in reaching St. Stephan° ; the English vessels having been driven of their stations -by a :gale wind. Mu KAT himself .did not think it Hiaebt to acconipany the Expedition : ever, (A -encourage. iris ttoops, he . got . iol6- his barg,;,- and bravely remained on the Calabrian . side of: ine Streights. Unfortunately a _dead cairn succeeded hefting the •whOle of the Neapolitan army could get "aero - ss; and Muir AT, as he could not get aq.rnore troops over to - Sicily, made a signal for those who bad: ( a4ttially passed, over; to , make time best .of .their way back - again. Now ' , we should have ~ .suppo:ed, that' a dead cairn was as " litCe likely to waft - over troops front' Sicily - t.O Calabria, as from Calabria to Sicily; but the Moniteur has nut eondes,..ended - to enlighten our ignorance Upon that stabled. s.r JOHN STUART, we are then told, :ordered atm attack tto be made upon those- who had :landed: but, says the Moniteur,. with a roost-enter taining naiveté, our lierOeS were so quick'in rallying, the moment ivliniAT gave the signal to-retreat, that the English for souls of them could not overtake the invaders The remainder of the story we do not clearly comprehend (torn MultAT's account, but we venture to predict.that fad will - turn out to.be, that upon the French and Neapolitans being!charged by the British cavalry, the former, Vvithout.waiting for signal iO retreat, ailed - upon the pru dent maxim of sauve qui pent, and made the best of their way to the. beach, that:Some of them 'escaped, and that the greata part remained in . our hands.— concludes his account -by saying,' that this etiterprize must prove to the English the possibility of cti - eaing a landing in Sicily. It certainly does so, but at the same time it 'bac/it - eyed to MURAT the extreme difficulty of . getting his trOops back again , out of Sicily, when once they have been so int , prudent as to set their feet on shore. These papers contain a Russian account of the de feat of the Turks near Rudschuck ; (fie latter appear to have suffered severely, but the fate of the cam paign will by no means be decided by that battle. Yesterday. morning his MASESfY, the Dukes of YORK., .KENT,. CUMBERLAND, pew , ess s AUGUSTA, and . Sortm, rode in Wiliosor Great Park till halt past twelve. The Royal Pary was accompatt,ted by Lord WALSINGHAN, Lady ELY, CoUtit MUNSTER, G6IlCralS GWYNNE and FITZROY, and Colonels TAY LOR and DEsettow. The Prince et WALES has been confined for these few days past, at the New Ledge, in his apartmynts, with a slight attack of the A letter from a British Officer, a•prisoner of war at Givet, Department of Ardennes, states as fol lows :—" After being so long-buoyed, -It-with-the e:spetiation of a general exchange, I now begin to fear that our hopes krill not be . realized; as I train, With deep 'regret, that the' negociatipn is neatly broken off.--z•We are also told, that we shall be placed under greafer restrictions than heretofore ; and that after the lapse of another month, we are to be debarred from corresponding with our friends through the usual channels : it *is therefore probable that this will be the last letter 1 shall be able to send you while I. remain in this country." It appears from the following extract, that the Spanish Guerilla: are b..!ginning to be active in the rear of Massena's army : " CORUNNA; SEPT. 30.—The French in Ciudad R , drigo are surrounded by the flying parties, acid are sunnetirnes without, any communication. " King Joseph has created a number of new Bishops ; that of Zamora has been given to a Canon :ol,Cordova ; the ArchbishopriCk of Seville has been given to Friar tif Santander ; the auxiliary Bishop of Toledo, and Seigni.r Cuerda, auxiliary of Porto _Rico, have offered to cunsecrrite the new Bishops made by King Joseph, even without the confirma tion of the ,Pope. " The NunCio of Spain is authorised by the Pope to dispense with the affinity of blood in relation ship, according to the representations of the Bishops. Our - army of the left has its head-quarters. at .Me rida,„and the French are re-uniting at Seville.— Ballasterus attacked a convoy that was going to tiie town 'of Castello de las Guarrlias, escorted by 300 Men, the whole of which he took ; killed 50 of them, and the same number of prisoners, and a great many weunded."

Her Royal Flighneis continues to receive the most particular attention from her Royal Par , nts, and from ail the members of the Royal Fa m ily. Th e Prince of WALES, with all that tenderness and at , feelion which he has ever shewn for his family, and and that peculiar goodness of heart for which he is so remarkable in every trying situation, no longer con tents himself with occasional visits, hoAe,er long and frequent, but has remained at Windsor since the early • part of last week, in order to give his attentions constantly, and has. not been ab ent, ex - - cept once, when called to town fur a few hours on particular business last Sunday. Every ,possible, precaution is taken at Windsor to prevent the Princess AMELIA being .disturbed by noise, in her long protra6ted and distressing illness. St. Alban's-street, where she is dOnfined, is covered very thickly with straw, to pyevent_ a. if or disturbance from the motion of carriages ; none are allowed in the street but those. belonging:to the KING and QUEEN, nor ate any pers,ns on loot permit ted to pass, except upon business, to *Vent which, a party of soldiers are stationed at each end of tie street. The QUEEN visits her Royal kligline . is every day about twelve o'clock, and repeats her visits two or three times a• day: The KING., after partaking of his:early dinner, s ,, on'after one o'clock, goes in hiS carriage to 'visit her ; it .is in general about three o'clock.
